Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the cleaning of barguns.
  • Barguns are typically comprised of a handle having a multiplicity of buttons thereon and a nozzle situated typically perpendicular to the handle, for dispensing a pre-selected fluid. Bar guns are well-known in the art.
  • Each button activates the dispensing of a concentrate and a diluent at a specific ratio.
  • the bargun handle is provided with the pressurized concentrate and the pressurized diluent at this specific ratio by means of a proportioning pump associated to the concentrate and the diluent.
  • a typical proportioning pump suitable for the invention is the SHURflo Brix Pump such as described in publication 911-332 Rev. J 1/98. This publication describes the process for cleaning the proportioning pump which consists in disconnecting the concentrate inlet tube from the concentrate source and placing this tube in a bucket of cleaning solution. The pump is then activated in a first step according to a sanitizing mode and then in a second step according to a dispensing mode.
  • the invention concerns a method for cleaning in place a bargun dispenser, the bargun dispenser comprising :
  • a source of water delivering water to a water inlet line
  • at least one proportioning pump pumping the concentrate from the concentrate inlet line and the water from the water inlet line in a determined ratio and separately delivering the pumped concentrate to a concentrate pump outlet line and the pumped water to a water pump outlet line to a bargun handle comprising buttons for opening the pump outlet lines and comprising a nozzle for mixing the pumped concentrate and the pumped water,
  • the cleaning method comprising the following steps :
  • a cleaning assembly comprising : a reservoir, a pump and fluid connection tubes,
  • the invention concerns a clean in place (CIP) kit for cleaning a bargun dispenser, said bargun dispenser comprising :
  • the kit comprising :
  • a cleaning assembly comprising : a reservoir, a pump and fluid connection tubes,
  • Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the fluid system of a bargun dispenser and a clean in place assembly implemented in the method of the present invention.
  • Figure 1 illustrates a the bargun dispenser comprising three sources of concentrate CI, C2, C3 each delivering a concentrate to a concentrate inlet line il, i2, i3.
  • the bargun dispenser is not limited to 3 concentrates and more concentrates could be delivered.
  • the dispenser is linked to a source of pressurized water W which simultaneously delivers the water for diluting the concentrates but also to drive the concentrates pumps. Water is introduced through a water inlet line iw that is divided in three pump inlet lines wl, w2, w3.
  • the dispenser comprises three proportioning pump PI, P2, P3, one for each of the concentrate : each pump pumps the concentrate from the concentrate inlet line and the water from the water inlet line in a determined ratio and separately delivers the pumped concentrate to a concentrate pump outlet line ol, o2, o3 and the pumped water to a water pump outlet line owl, ow2, ow3.
  • the bargun dispenser comprises a bargun handle 1 comprising buttons 2 for opening the pump outlet lines and comprising a nozzle 3 for mixing and dispensing the pumped concentrate and the pumped water.
  • a clean in place assembly for cleaning the bargun dispenser, a clean in place assembly is provided.
  • the clean in place assembly comprises :
  • a reservoir 4 for holding a cleaning or sanitizing solution or rinsing water
  • the reservoir comprises fluid connection fittings so that the tubes can be rapidly attached to the reservoir.
  • the method for cleaning the bargun dispenser with the clean in place assembly consists in the following steps. First the clean in place assembly is connected to the bargun dispenser. The connection consists in :
  • This connection is preferably configured so that the pump can provide pressurized liquid to the fluid connection tube t3 and consequently to the inlets of the pumps PI, P2, P3.
  • the reservoir 4 is filled with a cleaning solution S.
  • the water source W can be connected to the reservoir 4 in place of the bargun dispenser with a fluid connection tube t4 comprising an on/off valve 6. Then it becomes easy to fill the reservoir 4 with water from the water source W by simply opening the valve 6 until the requested quantity is reached. Specific cleaning agents can then be added to the water in the reservoir.
  • fluid connection tubes are joined together in form of a bundle to help their handling by the operator.
  • each of the concentrate inlet lines il, i2, i3 and the water inlet line iw comprises a three-way valve vl, v2, v3, vw to which the fluid connection tubes tl, t2, t3, t4 of the clean in place assembly can be connected.
  • These three- way valves remain in the bargun dispenser and are not dismounted between two cleaning operations. They enable the operator to quickly connect the tubes. Then he just has to manually turn all the valves in the same "cleaning" position to operate the cleaning.
  • the pump of the reservoir is activated and the bargun handle buttons for opening the pump outlet lines are activated until the reservoir is empty.
  • the solution dispensed by the bargun nozzle is sent to drain.
  • the clean in place assembly can comprise a sensor for detecting the pressure downstream to the pump 5 and for stopping the pump when the pressure is higher than a predetermined value, which corresponds to the case where the bargun handle buttons are not activated.
  • the cleaning method can be repeated with different cleaning solutions and finally with rinsing water.
  • the operator simply has :
  • buttons of the bargun handle to dispense the cleaning solution or the rinsing water.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur un procédé pour nettoyer un distributeur de pistolet à eau gazeuse, lequel procédé de nettoyage sur site comprend les étapes suivantes, consistant à : • - disposer un ensemble de nettoyage comprenant : un réservoir (4), une pompe (5) et des tubes de liaison vis-à-vis des fluides (t1, t2, t3, t4), • - relier l'ensemble de nettoyage sur site au distributeur de pistolet à eau gazeuse par : •. liaison de la ligne d'entrée de concentrat (i1, i2, i3) au réservoir sur site de la source de concentrat avec l'un des tubes de liaison vis-à-vis des fluides (t1, t2), •. liaison de la ligne d'entrée d'eau (iw) au réservoir sur site de l'alimentation en eau avec l'un des tubes de liaison vis-à-vis des fluides (t3), • - remplir le réservoir avec une solution de nettoyage (S), • - actionner la pompe du réservoir, et • - actionner les boutons du manche de pistolet à eau gazeuse pour ouvrir les lignes de sortie de pompe jusqu'à ce que le réservoir soit vide.
